Fishes that are Endangered, Threatened, SOC

I created the attached document, so I know what species to learn so that I do not accidentally bring any of the "special" fish home.I challenge every NANFA member to create a similar list from their state and post it here. One of the people that does this will get the "Unofficial NANFA Forum Silver Dollar"

From The ODNR website.

Fishes that are Considered Endangered, Threatened,Species of Concern, Special Interest, Extirpated, or Extinct in Ohio(updated September 2007)

Ohio uses six categories: endangered, threatened, species of concern, special interest, extirpated, and extinct, to further define the status of selected wildlife.

Also, I'm looking for just a list of fish species, I hate scrolling through pages and pages of other things to get the info I want. ODNR has the information spread out through like 6 links on their site.

What I'm trying to do is get people involved and learn T/E fishes in their state. Also these lists would be handy to take on collecting trips especially if you're going out of state.

I agree, this is a great idea.

One thing to note. As far as photo rights go, just "giving credit" is not enough. If you use someone else's photograph you must have permission to use it. Just because someone posts their intellectual property on the internet does NOT make it "Fair Use".

...so you've just gotten your buckets, nets, coolers, waders, lunch, maps, permits or licenses, etc. etc. etc. together to go out in the field, and you find a 59 page booklet telling you what stuff you should or shouldn't take unwieldy?
